Aki Hoshino - Japan's Travel Safety Ambassador

Can't tell who this is? She's none other than the darling of sneakerheads worldwide, Japanese model Aki Hoshino (). After her stint with retailer KIKS TYO and photographer Yonehara last year, the 31-year old Hoshino was asked to be the spokesperson on oversea travel safety by Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her new job includes tip bits on consulate assistance, passport theft, foreign customary practices, and more. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also created a special website with mini travel quiz and a brief interview with Hoshino on her travel experiences.
